Application May 9, 1957, Serial No. 658,085

1 Claim. (Cl. 45-.5)

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in telephone service devices, and it has for its object to provide a device, which, while entirely separate from and independent of the telephone apparatus, or its accessories proper, will nevertheless lend itself to attachment to a telephone apparatus and greatly facilitate the service in connection with the latter, as it gives immediate access to a writing pad and pencil for taking short messages and telephone numbers.

The simplicity, usefulness and efiiciency of the construction will permit the device to be sold at a minimum cost.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combina tion and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming part of this application, and in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of my device.

Figure 2 is a rear elevational view of same.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of a pencil holder proper.

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 4-4 in Figure 1; while Figure 5 is an elevational view, showing my device attached to one side of the base of a telephone apparatus.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral indicates a blank of any suitable material bent upon itself to have at one end rectangular flanges 11, 11.

Patented Apr. 14, 1959 The said flanges are made to overlap the edges of a pad 12, as shown in Figure 5 and thus keep said pad in position.

The other end of said blank 10 is at its lower end bent over as at 13, and in an opposite direction as the aforesaid flanges, so as to snugly fit and engage the lower edge of one side of a telephone apparatus, as shown in Figure 5.

The pencil holder 23 is formed by being bent upon itself from a blank and has two cut-out lugs 24, 24, adapted to engage an opening 26 in the side of the blank 10, whereby to secure said pencil holder to the latter; however said pencil holder may also be attached to said blank 10 in any other convenient manner, such as by soldering.

A chain 21 may connect a pencil 27 to the blank device 10 as shown at 20.

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, as shown, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and I do not, therefore, Wish to limit myself to the exact construction shown and described herein.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

In a device of the class described, a blank formed with an opening therein, two horizontal, rectangular bends at one end of said blank adapted to receive a pad of paper, one horizontal bend formed in the opposite direction at the other end of said blank adapted to engage the lower edge of a telephone apparatus, said blank being formed with an opening therein adapted to receive a pencil holder, and means for securing the chain of a pencil to said blank when formed into an attachment to the telephone apparatus.
